Permanent and Professional Foundation Repair - Licensed, Bonded and Insured Florida State Certified General Contractor - Residential, Commercial and Municipal.

repairs foundations all over Central Florida. We utilize pressure grouting, pin piles, helical piling and other systems to perform the foundation repairs. AB Chance has been the worlds leading manufacturer of helical piles used in foundation repairs for many years. AB Chance selected as one of their certified helical pile installation contractors for Orlando, Florida. The helical anchor pile is a segmented deep foundation system with helical bearing plates welded to a central steel shaft. The load from the building footer is transferred from the shaft to the soil through these bearing plates. Combinations are also available for compression applications in soil conditions where dense or hard soils must be penetrated with softer or loose soils above the bearing strata.

The AB Chance helical pile shaft segments or sections are joined with bolted couplings. The installation depth is determined by soil density and practicality based on economics. The helical bearing plate or helix is one pitch of a screw thread and all of the helices, regardless of their diameter, have a standard 3" pitch. Since they have a true helical shape, the helices do not auger into the soil but rather screw into it with a minimum of soil disturbance. The Chance helical plates are spaced at distances far enough apart that they function independently as individual bearing piles; consequently, the capacity of a particular helix on a helical anchor/pile shaft is not influenced by the helix above or below it.

Older Homes Need Foundation Repairs Now Foundation problems only get worse over time. Most foundation problems can be traced right back to when the home was constructed.

In older homes, the construction may have been done at a time when the builders did not have the equipment or the knowledge to properly lay a foundation.

Most foundation issues are caused due to an improperly laid foundation and poor soil quality under the foundation. Today, builders have tools that will help them to compact the soil to provide a stable base for the foundation.

They also know that foundations must have a secure and firm soil bases in order to prevent future foundation problems.
